Lily's Caption Contest!

So, are you feeling lucky?

Would you like to win a bunch of beautiful, hand-spun yarn?

Up for grabs are three big skeins of yarn, hand-spun by Helen Mathey-Horn. From left to right, there's 230 yards of wool, 600 yards of Wensleydale wool, and 265 yards of alpaca/merino/silk. All you have to do is wow me with an incredibly clever caption for this picture of little Lily:

We have our big Hot Loops party this weekend, and I will need time to recover...so I will announce the winner on Monday, Sept. 24. And Loops Troops (i.e. employees), sorry, you're not eligible to win this time - we've got to save some yarn for the rest of the world! But you are welcome to comment and share your considerable wit and wisdom.

Happy captioning!

- Shelley
